Chasing Dreams Under Dancing Skies
We're not just another tour company. We're aurora chasers, story weavers, and guardians of one of nature's most spectacular shows. For over 7 years, we've been sharing the magic of the Northern Lights with dreamers from around the world.
Our Story
It started with a single moment—December 2014, -40°C, standing on the frozen shores of Great Slave Lake. Our founder, then a visitor to Yellowknife, watched as ribbons of green light exploded across the Arctic sky. In that instant, everything changed.
"As a first-time visitor, I'd never seen anything like it. But that night was different. The lights weren't just beautiful—they were alive, dancing with a purpose I couldn't explain. I knew then that I had to stay, and that this magic, this incredible gift of the North, needed to be shared with the world."
Four years later, the idea of Aurora Bus was born. What started as a dream has grown into Yellowknife's most trusted aurora tour operator. But we've never lost sight of what matters: the raw, unfiltered wonder of standing beneath the Northern Lights.
For over 7 years, we've been sharing this magic with visitors from around the world. We employ a team of passionate local guides and welcome visitors each year. But at our core, we're still that group of aurora-obsessed northerners who can't wait to show you why we call this place home.
